<div class="coreWikiHelp">
<p>Whitespace indentation in lists.  Any line that begins with whitespace <em>and aligns</em> with a previous list item (whether bulleted, numbers or definitional) is considered to be "within" that list item.  Text folds and wraps as normal, and the  directive is honored.

<div class='vspace'></div><table class='markup vert' align='center'>
      <tr><td class='markup1' valign='top'><pre># First-level item\\
  Whitespace used to to continue item on a new line
# Another first-level item
  # Whitespace combined with a single # to create a new item one level

</td></tr></table>
<p class='vspace'>Otherwise, lines that begin with whitespace are treated as <em>preformatted text</em>, using a monospace font and not generating linebreaks except where explicitly indicated in the markup.  (Another way to create preformatted text blocks is by using the [@...@] markup.)
